This is the last one, because I am afraid he won’t get much use out of them, if our weather does not change pretty soon. I found this remnant at JA’s for about $2.50 right after Christmas. I loved the color, and when I looked for a theme I immediately thought about the soccer embroideries I saw on Stickbaer. I wanted to add a german Flag, but he decided he wanted the number 10. I have no idea why. Tomorrow it will be the number 2. Even though I knew exactly how to sew this pullover, it was still time consuming, and I spent the last three nights putting it together. My next project will be to make a pair of black jeans (with knee pads) and yellow topstitching.
I still do not like the collar. It is so bulky. I used a black ribknit this time, but I think a cotton fabric would be the best choice to avoid the bulkiness. However the binding also holds the zipper, and a cotton fabric would be too lightweight. That is exactly why I did not use a jersey. I had bought a different zipper, but this pattern needs a 9inch zipper and not 7inches.
awesome jacket! very professional looking
This is so cool, I bet he just loves it.
OMGosh, I love it!!!! He’s such a handsome boy too – looks like he loves it. So where did you get the soccar ball inset around the middle? Great job Jeannine!
